Motorcycle Riding Safety Information in Dhaka
Like other countries in the world, the rate of motorcycle or bike usage in Bangladesh is increasing day by day. Especially in Dhaka, the capital of Bangladesh, the amount of bikes is very high. Because Dhaka is known as the most crowded place and megacity of Bangladesh.
Dhaka’s public transport has not been modernized yet. There are so many old model cars plying in this megacity, most of which lack legal documents and fitness. Even, these vehicles who operate on the road i.e. do not have authorized drivers.
On the other hand these vehicles are not following proper safety. Unwanted rickshaws are another problem in the urban and road sector of Dhaka Metropolis. If you pay a little attention, you can see that the rickshaws move at a slow speed on almost all the main roads of Dhaka, causing endless traffic jams. Therefore everyone has to rely on private vehicles.

Why should you adhere to motorcycle riding safety?
Every year, a large number of bike or motorcycle riders across Bangladesh including Dhaka die due to accidents due to not riding motorcycles safely. Even those who survive the accident spend the rest of their lives suffering endlessly with excruciating pain and paralysis.
And sometimes, even if the motorcyclist is healthy, the pedestrian has to be the victim of an accident due to reckless speed. For this reason, you have to follow the motorcycle riding safety rules.
Things to follow for motorcycle riding safety:
1. Even if the road in Dhaka is empty, the speed of the motorcycle should not exceed 40 km per hour. Motorcycle speed should not exceed 70 km per hour on the highway outside Dhaka. This can cause you to lose control and cause a major accident.
2. Never ride a motorcycle too close to or directly on the sidewalk. During traffic jams we notice that – many bikes are running on the footpath or on the side of the footpath. which causes accidents. City sidewalks are used only for pedestrians.
Sidewalks are not applicable for vehicular traffic or parking.
3. Tracks should not be changed frequently. Some motorcyclists change their tracks to avoid traffic and go faster. In this case, there is a possibility of major accidents. So motorcycle riding safety should be followed.
4. Motorcycles are generally used as single transportation. So it is better not to travel with whole family. It is very dangerous on Dhaka roads. Accidents can happen anytime with family. So motorcycle riding safety should be followed.
5. Always keep your motorcycle fit and clean through servicing. If the motorcycle is not ridden, it loses mechanical fitness. A good fitness and grooming will increase confidence and control in riding. It also ensures the safety of riding a motorcycle.
